4:57 PM me: LBJ VIETNAM ETC
4:58 PM our children are dying
  also Jen wrote me an e-mail
 Joshua: lol wut
 me: I am sending an e-mail in response explaining why I was well within my right to make out with Catalina that one night when she was there
4:59 PM Feel free to come by whenever you'd. I've certainly never set out to hurt your feelings, but we had broken up the weekend before and you'd gotten mad at me and left the previous Thursday morning, so I invited a girl to come over on Saturday. Then you asked me to watch your dog that day, and I did, and then you came by to get your dog and hang out, and meanwhile here's this girl who took an hour-long train ride to see me. Clearly you and I were not compatible, we had broken up, you had once again gotten mad and left a few days before and I hadn't heard from you until the next morning when you needed me to watch your dog while you went to Boston, and even previous to that you had objected to the designation "girlfriend." I was under the impression that we were no longer going out, and at the very least not exclusively dating.
5:00 PM Joshua: sounds reasonable to me
5:01 PM me: yes
5:02 PM this is in response to her contention that I had hurt her feelins
 Joshua: i c - how does her email read?
5:04 PM me: here it is
5:05 PM was first communication I received from her since she came over to get her laptop and stuff and said like two words to me
  Hey I found your non-scarf cyber punk headband under my bed. U want it? (also the Pakistani guy at the deli wears a cyber punk scarf around his head too. are you guys working together? ;)

I'd under no circumstances ever date you again, but it would be good if we could be friends and hang out as such. However, I gotta say, you really hurt my feelings last time we met...
  apparently she won't date me again!
5:07 PM Joshua: oh no - that's terrible
  that guy wears a scarf too
  ?

14 minutes
5:22 PM me: starting a trend
  oh, here we go
  from Jen
  you're absolutely right. I have no right to be offended. What you did was completely reasonable and considerate, and a reciprocate of the kindness and caring that I'd shown you. You've done nothing wrong and you're a great guy. Have a nice life.
